This Sunday's Message: Power of Faith
Sermon Text: Genesis 18:1-15
The Road Less Traveled
What a difference a week makes. Last Saturday I was marching through the streets of Aledo standing with strangers. Today I am preparing to meet my granddaughters for the first time. Those two events may not seem connected, but they will be forever...
One of our Methodist traditions is to "pound" our outgoing pastor. Pounding is celebrating and giving the pastor a pound of flour, a pound of sugar, (disposable paper products in 2020) etc. to help as he moves to his new home. "Pounding" is an example of the graciousness and generosity we Methodists show to others.
Thanks for working so hard on our re-opening plan, considering the safety of our church family! We begin Sunday!

Stay Connected With Your Aledo UMC Family
Aledo UMC has heeded the warnings from health officials and temporarily closed the church offices for the foreseeable future. We are still the church, sohere are several ways for our AUMC family to stay connected through the week:
Sunday
9:30 am - Adult Sunday school - Facebook Live (Aledo UMC Page)
As we move into virtual worship and other gatherings for the foreseeable future, now is a great time to connect with online giving to ensure that the ministries and outreach of the church are not interrupted.
There are two basic ways to give electronically, and both are quick and simple.
The best option is to give via a direct transfer from your checking account. This is fee-free for you and the church. Simply fill out the accompanying ACH form and send it in to the church office along with a voided check. You can mail it to Aledo UMC, PO Box 126, Aledo, TX 76008.
Or you can text "aledoumc" to 77977. This will connect you to a service called PushPay, which will allow you to give electronically to the church using either a credit card or debit card. You will receive a text back with instructions guiding you through setting up your gift. You can give either a one-time gift or set up weekly or monthly giving through PushPay.
